Adjustable input

Linear Technology

has introduced the LTC2909, a dual low voltage adjustable input supervisor intended for a variety of system monitoring applications.

A single select pin chooses one of three possible polarity combinations for the adjustable inputs. The LTC2909 can monitor two supplies – positive, negative, or both – for UV, OV or one of each. It may also monitor a single supply (positive or negative) for UV and OV simultaneously. The adjustable trip thresholds are set with an external resistive divider network, giving users complete control over the trip point and tailoring the LTC2909 to the needs of specific designs.

The low voltage threshold of 0.5V comes with an accuracy of ±1.5%, ensuring reset operation without false triggering. A precision undervoltage lockout allows VCC to be used as a third fixed 10% UV supply monitor. The common reset output delay can be configured to use a preset 200ms timeout, adjusted by an external capacitor or disabled.
